I rise today in support of the Nickles amendment on the admission of HIVinfected aliens to the United States. This amendment would retain the policy excluding HIVpositive aliens for a period of 6 months. During that time. the Secretary of HHS would work with the Attorney General to examine the critical cost issues involved in granting immigrant status to HPIinfected aliens. And at the conclusion of that 6month review. the Secretary of HHS and the Attorney General will make a full report to Congress on the cost implications of lifting the exclusion. We need to know the answer to this specific question: Is the public charge provision in todays immigration law sufficient to protect against added costs to the United States? Mr. President.
